On iOS, I’m using the speed review for my course ‘Italian 2’. Since a recent update I noticed that a feature has been added that supplies the literal translation after I submitted my answer. On my phone, this makes the multiple choices boxes shift down and then up again when the next question arrives. This makes it very hard for me to concentrate on answering correctly (which is already on a very high pace).
So:
As a: user
I would like: to remove the feature of the literal translations in speed review
So that: I can concentrate on answering rapidly
OS: iOS 11.3.1
Device: iPhone 6
Course: Italian 2
Memrise version: latest version from AppStore
It would be nice if someone from Memrise could have a look at this, for example @Joshua ?
Kind regards,
J.
PS: to the people who replied, thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it!

I think literal translations should be removed
I think literal translations should be optional (for the user to toggle on/off)
I think literal translations should be presented in a way that doesn’t shift the other boxes down
@5a534e29, I’ve heard that they have a limited amount of developers and have to prioritize enhancements. I’d recommend asking if anyone else has the same issue and shares your opinion. A great way to do this is to add a poll to your thread.
Well, I rarely use the app. Maybe just once or twice per month. But last week I’ve noticed this “update” too and it’s pretty annoying!
The boxes with answers are constantly shifting up and down on my screen now.
I utterly agree with Kim! The literal translation is completely clumsy. When learning or doing speed review, literal translation layout appears and shift the buttons down out of the screen. Besides who needs literal translation? There should be an option to turn it off.
The clipping of answers also happens with other courses, I suspect it has to do with how much text you place as the answer and code that does not doing scaling based on device screen size. And if there’s a limit on number of characters per tile, that should be prompted for when creating course entries.
Agh, that will cause grief with languages that have stacked or very tall letters. I think the opposite happened, they tightened the buttons and caused grief.
Guys, only way to solve this issue is removing the literal translation row. For God’s sake, who needs stupid literal translation?! Software guys, do you hear me?
